Not to be nosey, but if people don't like old players in your league, wouldn't want to not keep him and then pick him up late in the draft?

I meant I'm keeping him as in not trading him. The fact that they don't like old players would deter me from keeping him, not incent me to keep him. I worded it wrong. I word things not good.

Good. You're not as dumb as some of the others here have told me that you were.

Because there is a shortage of players who could match his output as a relief pitcher but a lot of guys who can equal his output as a starter.

I was thinking more along those lines as well. As a closer you're getting arguably the third best player. As a starter, you don't really know what you're going to get. The uncertainty alone is enough to knock him down a couple rounds IMO.
